'Fashion industry finally accepts us curvier girls,' says Size 16 model who survived on Diet Coke and lettuce to get work as an unhappy Size 4'

curves good, anorexic bad

"women who do not have a 'womanly aesthetic.'"
Huh?!! A womanly aesthetic IS more curves if you ask me. In fact, whatever. Women's bodies are how they are. If they are naturally skinny and not very curvy, then that's their aesthetic, or if they are naturally very curvy, then that's theirs. Why does everyone have to be the same? Vive la difference!

Yes, I agree. I have ultra skinny friends who get just as much ribbing about their appearance too.

I love it when people just dress in beautiful and cool ways that let themselves shine as they are, ya know?
Still, I know its not that easy. It wasn't until I was in my early 30's that I really found that genuine appreciation of and confidence in my own look

Yes Antara, i agree with you, and i'm a late bloomer too.
